Language pair:

Spanish > English

Subject:

General

Level of diffculty:

Easy / medium

Word or term in question:

la esperaba con buen aspecto

Context:

Llevaba ropa anticuada, un vestido marrón conjuntado con un chaqueta de lino color verde y unas sandalias también marrones de tacón plano. Parecía cansada. Quizás incluso le doliese la cabeza. Tampoco se había peinado aquella mañana o, al menos, eso parecía. Ninguno de los presentes la esperaba con buen aspecto por lo tanto, en cierto modo, pasó desapercibida.

No one expected her to look good, (or: "to look her best") so in a way, no one even noticed her.

My comment:

I am purposely not saying "look well" because I think the reference is to her actual physical look and not to the health aspect.
